Class 1 FCAW Welders

Our client, a well established Marine Engineering company, is looking for Class 1 FCAW Welders to join their team.

This is an excellent opportunity to be part of a long term refit project.

Suitable candidates must be NVQ Level 3 or Apprenticeship qualified and have a strong background in FCAW welding. Previous marine/ship repair experience would be ideal, but other heavy industries are also suitable.

Successful applicants will be required to spend a week in the test bay. Multiple FCAW tests must be passed in order to join the project. So long as you pass Day 1, your time in the test bay will be paid at the standard rate.
